Honda, KTM, Piaggio and Yamaha have come together for the creation of a swappable batteries consortium for motorcycles and light electric vehicles.
This move is expected to promote widespread use of EVs
The activities will start in May 2021
It will define the standardised technical specifications
Back in April 2019, it was
Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, Kawasaki who were expected to work on unified standards for electric bikes. However, that plan appears to have fallen through and two European companies have taken the place of Suzuki and Kawasaki.
In the context of the Paris Climate Agreement and the transition to electromobility, the founding members of the consortium believe that the availability of a standardised swappable battery system would both, promote the widespread use of light electric vehicles and contribute to a more sustainable life-cycle management of batteries used in the transport sector.

KTMâs Flagship ADV Is Here!
Adaptive cruise control has been given a miss.
Gets revised frame and swingarm for improved agility.
Features a new 3-part fuel tank with 23 litre capacity.
From a puny commuter to the homologation special monsters, there’s a lot of motorsport learning that trickles down to the bikes that we ride. And if we talk of rally-ready motorcycles, we just can’t keep KTM out of the conversation, can we?
A 221kg ADV For The Trails?
Yes, KTM claims the second generation of its flagship ADV has been reworked to suit the trails. To achieve this, the engineers at KTM have moved the steering head back by 15mm, shortening the frame and making the open-lattice swingarm slightly longer. Also, replacing the conventional fuel tank is the new three-piece unit, sitting near the crankcase, with a capacity of 23 litres.

Tucker48 The initial order to register BS4 vehicles was till 31st march, so why the date was changed to an earlier one? Am I missing something here?I feel sorry for him and even more irritated because even I was in a similar predicament for almost a month before my ordeal ended. I had to register an outside of Delhi BS4 car purchase with the RTO before the stipulated deadline of 31st March. The saving grace for me was the fact it had a temporary registration from native state dated 16th March 2020. And then from 22nd Sunday to 24th March Tuesday, the country went from Junta curfew, extensions to finally lock down for 21 days.
The RC16 development process involves a tidal flow of information back-and-forth between Pedrosa and KTM.
While the 35-year-old is often asked to deliver a verdict on new parts or ideas conceived entirely in the factory or in response to requests made by the race riders, the situation is then reversed when Pedrosa acts as the starting point for areas of the bike he wants engineers to target . It s two completely different targets, Leitner confirmed. I mean, of course you bring new parts to test and ask Dani exactly about the feeling or what impression he has about them. But after riding the bike and doing the tests he also impresses on us from his side what he would target. So it is always a combination between the rider input and the ideas people have in the company.
